Hey @Glisten dearest!! I am going okay - tho currently having some super fun 'ADHD Burnout' according to my psych 🙃

@JBG @Sparky79 @rav3n @Jynx @Shaz51 how’s all my ADHD friendlies?

Hey @Glisten @Captain24 @AlwaysMyself

How we all tracking peeps?

@Sparky79 @JBG @Shaz51 @Captain24

Hello @Jynx , love all the memes 😍

Funny how I can relate to all of those and know why @Jynx

Haha @Captain24 ages ago, a friend of mine literally figured out his ADHD cos of all the memes I was posting on fb at the time!! He was like 'hold up... why can I relate to ALL OF THESE?!' 🤣

I think it's funny @Shaz51 has tagged me here as one of the ADHD 😋 because I'm not ADHD (well, I haven't been tested, but it's never been suggested). But my husband is diagnosed ADHD.
I don't mind being tagged or thought of as ADHD though. I think all my close friends concur that I am not neurotypical, even if I may not fit the criteria for ADHD or ASD. 😂 I fit in well with my ND friends. 🤗 It's well acknowledged that I click well with people towards the ASD end of the neuro-spectrum. 😊 Direct & straight-shooters for the win!

Loved your memes @Former-Member @Jynx and agree with @rav3n about how you find them all?!

😂😂 sorry @AlwaysMyself ❤️

My husband and step children have adhd and asd

And I thought you said something about adhd

Yeah, my hubby (and a few of my other friends) have ADHD. 🙂
No need to apologise - I found it funny.

I have at times wondered if my brain may have some elements of mild ADHD because some aspects of it I can definitely relate to, such as always having constant thoughts etc. But I don't have a problem with focusing when needed or a particular hyperfocus. I think I'm just an over-thinker 🤣.

All are welcome @AlwaysMyself - including folks who are unsure, self-diagnosed, or friends/family of ND peeps!

Is it something you've ever been interested in exploring for yourself though? Amongst my friend group at the time I was diagnosed it was like I was the first domino - within a few years about 3/4 of them had been diagnosed either ADHD, Autism, or both 😅

I've always said ADHD is very poorly named. It's not that we have a deficit of attention, it's more like we have an attention regulation issue. We've got more of an interest-based nervous system (as opposed to importance-based) which means for example I can spend 6 hours reading for pleasure and forget to pee/eat/put warm clothes on, but I will absolutely struggle to read like, a dry philosophy book or an article or something I have to read for an assignment, and I'll be sitting there re-reading the same two sentences over n over trying to get something to sink in!

I think it's also possible to have some degree of ND traits without necessarily being to the extent that it qualifies for a diagnosis - it all comes back to how heavily it impacts our ability to function. E.g. a common one I have is walking into a different room and forgetting why I went in there. This is like, a universal human experience though, not necessarily a symptom. However, for most folks I imagine it happens like, idk once a week or something?

For me it happens multiple times a day. It impacts my functionality cos it often takes me twice as much time and energy to do my chores cos I'm wandering all over the house like a lost lil lamb and end up with like, 3 chores half finished... and by then I'm probably also distracted by a random craft activity in another room - making yet more mess 🤣
